My deepest condolences to his Family and Friends as well the Fans of the Vernon Vipers. May you rest in peace.

Didn't know him but it sounds as though he was very much respected. Sad. He didn't look very old if the picture is recent.

This was a bit of a shock when I read this today.

This is sad news not just for the Vipers, but the city of Vernon as well as the family.

I was just talking to him last Saturday at the CIvic Arena game and he seemed his usual self- Always smiling and willing to talk hockey with any of the fans.

He will be sorely missed. Thank you Duncan for being the heart behind arguably one of the most successful Jr.A franchises in Canada!

Thoughts and prayers are with the family.
